For his work as chairman of
the Jewish section of the Inter-
faith Committee For Aid to the
Democracies, the British War
Relief Society has established a
children's nursing home in Eng-
land in Dr. Goldstein's honor.
• Increased Quotas
With increased quotas in every
phase of its work, the Detroit
Chapter of Hadassah is now rais-
ing the largest sum of money in
the history of its Honor Roll.
The thousands of homeless and
destitute refugees who have en-
tered Palestine during the war
have placed responsibility on
National Hadassah. The 2,500
members of the Detroit Chapter
are making their contribution
to the work being done in Pales-
tine.
Hadassah's projects in. Pales-
tine include land redemption
through the JNF, the Hadaisah
Medical Organization, Child Wel-
fare, Palestine Supplies, and
Youth Aliyah.
Since 1934, 12,000 children
from almost every country in
Europe have been given new
homes and new life in Palestine.
At present 3,200 children are
awaiting transportation to Pales-
tine.
Child Welfare Program
Through its Child Welfare
program, Hadassah looks after
the children through school hy-
giene and infant health care. A
school luncheon program is
maintained giving 30,000 chil-
dren a hot meal daily. There
are 33 supervised playgrounds.
Seek UNRA Aid
For Needy Jews
Special Wire to Jewish News
JERUSALEM (JTA) — T h e
Jewish ,Agency is negotiating
with the UNRRA to send welfare
aid squadrons from England to
Palestine to aid the Jews of
Europe. It was declared on Tues-
day at the Mapai conference that
the three already sent are not
sufficient.
11 Eliahu Dobkin, the Agency's
[immigration chief, said that never
( did officials have so much pain
.as in trying to distribute 3,000
'certificates just allotted among
hundreds of thousands of Jews
in liberated camps who are
Clamoring for admission to Pales-
tine. He said that the most. tragic
problem are those who are state-
less and who face reinterment
unless they are allowed to come
to Palestine.
Vocational training is given the
boys and girls to make them
independent members of the
community.
The pivot of Hadassah's great
medical organization in Pales-
tine is the Rothschild Hadassah
University Hospital on Mt. Sco-
pus. Hadassah is planning a
new tuberculosis hospital and a
medical school.
To continue the settlement of
the thousands awaiting admis-
sion to Palestine, more land must
be made available. Ten dunam
of land settles a family of four.
Hadassah has already supplied
about 100,000 dunam.
Supply Vital Necessities
Through the co-operation of
the British War Relief Society
and the Ministry of Shipping,
Hadassah has kept -Palestine
supplied with many vital neces-
sities throughout the war years.
These are shipped with high pri-
ority and without charge and in-
clude vital drugs and chemicals,
scientific and laboratory appara-
tus, surgical dressings, clothing
and bedding.
The Hadassah medical staff
gave valuable assistance to the
allied military physicians sta-
tioned in the Near East, through
its export knowledge of tropical
disease and the results of its re-
search in wound healing with
tissues extracts.
The Hadassah Honor Roll, now
drawing to a close, has been
headed by Mrs. Sidney J. Allen,
chairman, and the following
vice-chairmen: Mrs. Frank Wets-
man, Central Group; Mrs. Carl
Gussin, Huntington. Woods; • Mrs.
J. J. Marks, Russel Woods; Mrs.
Robert J. Newman, University
Group.
The Honor Roll meeting will
be open only to contributors to
the Hadassah Honor Roll drive.
LONDON (JTA)—The British
government is determined not to
permit the Palestine question to
be dragged into discussion on the
Levantine crisis, well informed
observers here stated a f ter
Churchill's address in Commons
Tuesday afternoon on the situa-
tion in Syria and Lebanon.
His address is interpreted as
meaning that discussions for the
settlement of disputes between
France and the Levant states will
not take in the entire problem
of the Middle East as demanded
by DeGaulle.

THERESIENSTADT, (JTA) —
About 8,000 Jews have left this
ghetto city since their liberation
by the Red Army, but 23,000 re-
main. Of these, one out of four
have been hospitalized.
Despite semi-official statements
that the typhus epidemic has
been halted, the number of cases
has risen until now about 2,500
are affected. Among the serious-
ly ill is Dr. Franticek Friedman,
former head of the Prague Jew-
ish community.
Although typhus is not of the
severe type, the under-fed con-
dition of the internees is result-
ing in many fatalities. The Rus-
sians have moved in five hospi-
tal units, which are working ex-
cellently, but the nursing short-
age continues.
Of the Jews remaining, 8,000
are from Hungary, 4,000 from
Poland, 1,300 are Netherlanders,
another 1,300 are Austrians, 6,000
are Germans, 2,500 are Czechs
and there are a few hundred
Frenchmen.
Robert Prochnik, secretary of
the Jewish community in There-
sienstadt, said that the surviving
Germans are mainly elderly, and
almost all of them have children
outside of Europe.
of awards to those who have
brought in the largest number
of members. The ritual of initia-

Pisgah Lodge team with Cantor
J. H. Sonenklar lending musical
background.
This affair, under the chair-
manship of Sam Maza, member-
ship chairman of Greater Detroit
Bnai Brith Council, is open to
the public.
